A friend of mine, Vido, once dressed up as the Starship Enterprise for Halloween.

Surprisingly cool and easy costume, and you have place to put your drinks.

is there any other kind of world?

t4t3r, I thought you said you grew up in the Midwest in the previous thread?

Going OT again and back onto making this rockin' world go round, it cheered me up immensely to read that the guitarist in question is to be the next Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University. Money quote from the Vice-Chancellor: "In this age of celebrity culture, it is rare to find someone who has fame, fortune and universal acclaim and yet who remains true to his core values of learning and enlightenment."

Cap’n Ed, embedded reporter in the 101st Oil Corporation Corps… No doubt every word he writes will be unbiased and true.

One of Cap’n Ed’s commenters praises his efforts, saying:

We no longer have a State Department to do these things

Thereby confirming the generally held belief that oil companies are a nation unto themselves, rather than American.

Whoa, thanks for the HTML link. I have seriously thought this was a browser issue and tried this site on various browsers and computers looking for the built in comment options….HAHAHA….That’s a bit easier. But now I no longer think that you are all magic. Magical, yes. Oh, you know. Magical, but not like that mormon underwear.

Actually, I think you are super magical, especially today. I’ve been reading the Gates of Vienna post comments about being “refugees” from those “PC, left-coast” sites like Little Green Footballs. I might reread them and just post a video of me laughing so hard that I fall out of my chair again. Now I can comment with italics there if I want! I loved the “Catholic conspiracy” comment about LGF. This one deserves an award.

Futher interesting “disclosures” from TEH Captain’s ABOUT page:

My original Typepad blog had an explanation of the origins of “Captain Ed”, but here it is again so I don’t mislead people by mistake … It’s a nickname bestowed on me by a former girlfriend during a time in my life when I was a huge Star Trek fan, and had named my first car the Carship Enterprise, and had bought a license-plate frame with that on it. For a birthday gift, she got me a set of personalized license plates that read CPTN ED to fit within it.

Oh my god, and all this time I thought you were some macho military dude, mon Captain! After all those “expert-like” bloviations on military matters you’ve made on your fucking blog (linked by your pal Instapundit), one would have thought you were a hard chargin’, cigar-chompin’, blood-and-guts military officer. To learn you’re a pasty-faced, tubby, Star Trek-lovin’ goof is…wow. I am floored. FLOORED.

Why, exactly, are we supposed to take these wingnuts seriously? I seemed to have forgotten why.

I’m more worried about the tracks coming up the page and turning off to the right. There’s a rogue emu around here somehere.

Fake Gary’s comment reminded me of this:
Bender: Isn’t it true you that you have been paid for your testimony?
Pramala: Yes. You gave me a dollar and some candy.
Bender: And yet you haven’t said what I told you to say! How can any of us trust you?

Do y’all know that there is such a thing as being turned on by intelligence?

My impression was that fifty percent of the planet knows this and the other fifty percent like big butts and they cannot lie.

Tina got a big ole butt
I know you’ve just made a compelling argument
But Tina got a big ole butt
So I’m leaving you

…like any industry that has important public-policy connections, (oil company) representatives engage the blogosphere on a regular basis.

Cap’n Ed looks forward to Chevron representatives engaging his connection on a regular basis, as they demonstrate new advances in exploratory drilling. But he is not accepting any money for these activities.

Thanks for not addressing the susbtance of my arguement, like a tru lie-beral. You caanot admit that the refineries are being stopped by hippies, which is why gas cost so much, but I bet libs love that, if it will make us into yurotrash.

The fact is, this criticsm of the Captain is unwarranted and biased. The biased MSM takes ad dollars from oil companies and still submits them to liberal bias standards that would not be applied to Hillary Clinton or pot smokers. There is seldom good to say in nightly news about Big Oil, so they need to get the balanced word out there by inviting fact seekers to see the ground truth themselves and spread the word the nightly brainwashing of the networks hides, such as the fact that the greenshirts and ecohippies have strangled the refinery business for decades by not allowing new ones, therefore making them uncompetitive. The liberals want us under communism. Of that, the fact is, there is NoDoubt.

Simba B: I also like big guys. And shorter guys too actually, as long as they don’t have that short-man complex thing goin’ on. Nor have I ever understood the attractiveness of very thin in either gender. In women it seems mostly a cultural dictate; but in men, seems more of a narcissistic thing.

Just don’t want no big butt, is all.
